S.E.T. for Success – Strategic Planning Roadmap – Workshop

Be SET for Success and create a strategic roadmap to set and achieve your business goals

1. Has your market changed around you?
   
2. Can you improve your business development efforts?
3. Are your business processes unclear?
4. Do you need to invest in your tools to become more competitive?
5. Are you considering human resource plans for your people?
6. Do you feel stuck in your business?
7. Does your business lack focus?
8. Do you need to establish or re-establish direction?
9. Are your plans implemented?

If you answered yes to more than one of these questions then you may need to develop a strategic plan to an action roadmap either for your whole business, a department or a component of your business.

Strategic Planning is a component of the business planning process that is done before tactical action is taken. To think strategically and act tactically you need to learn to apply a proven planning approach to identify your business challenges and opportunities, establish key priorities, and build a roadmap that can be implemented for your business success.

This workshop provides you training on how to build your strategic plan, an action roadmap and establish your business direction.

You will:

• Learn a 10 step systematic approach to strategic planning and implementation
• Analyze the VMOST important focus using the SETability model’s 4 business impact zones
• Know the 7 Strategic Planning questions you must ask and get answered
• Use planning tools to capture your business present and future state requirements
• Establish the components of a strategy and implementation roadmap to guide your direction
• Outline tactical work components with resource considerations
• Identify communication needs to engage people to create change opportunities

You will be guided through the strategic planning process using a proven model, applying tools and techniques and a number of activities to develop and reinforce your strategic planning abilities.

There are many benefits of any strategic planning approach that a business leader must consider. This often means selecting the best framework and involving key stakeholders to be engaged in the planning process.

Working together, as a team, clarity of vision and purpose should be established: mission, vision, core values and guiding principles are part of that process. Linking to these items allows your people to establish realistic goals and objectives that are consistent with the business requirements and organization’s needs.

This connection helps business leaders and their teams to identify strategic and tactical plans that need to be carried out in a defined time frame within the organization’s capacity. The key is to build a strategy map and road map that can be implemented. This requires the thoughtful integration of leading and lagging performance indicators that act as milestones so you know if you are on track. As you move forward, work and communications plans must be established in order to enable the organization’s plans. These plans help you know where it is you want to go and establish your approach to get there.

These are the things that create value for the business leader when it comes to strategic planning. It is part of the S.E.T. Approach where business leaders and their teams formulate and prepare their strategic direction.
